I'd like to say, that it is without a doubt the best knife (fixed or folding) that I've ever owned! The Tanto blade, LAWKS system, double flippers, multiple carry options, etc. (I could go on) are absolute genius! I used this knife in training, lost it, bought a new one, went to Afghanistan, lost it, bought yet another, and finally kept hold of it (my stupidity, not the knife, caused the loss). :-) I served for one year in Afghanistan, carried it on numerous combat convoys, and it never left my side. I opened mail, packages, MREs, cut 550 cord, and it was flawless! The one handed opening is invaluable. I'm never without my CRKT (cricket)!

You can't go wrong. Make sure you buy the CRKT M16 13SF model with the T6 aluminum handle with autoLAWKS system. Rating: 5 / 5 I love this knife. You can’t go wrong.

That thing is a piece of crap. This aluminum version with the AUS-8 blade is one of the best folding knives ever made. All the high end M-16's are the best folding knives Ive ever owned, but the lower ends are truly pieces of garbage. Be careful which one you spec out.

CRKT's website is very vague, and my research was stymied because of that, but I made the purchase anyway. First of all, this knife is made in Taiwan. The handle is some sort of plastic, and not aluminum. The "auto-lawks" feature, which is supposed to keep the blade open, makes closing the knife very awkward and dangerous to your fingers. This feature does not even engage properly unless you open the knife with a quick flick of the blade. When I open the knife in a slower fashion, the Auto-lawks feature does not work. So why do they charge so much for this knife, if it is made in Taiwan, and is plastic? Just because they give you an extra clip and torx screws does not justify the price for this inferior, and in my case, defective product.
